Reduction of Lead In Drinking Water Act January 2014 Compliance
The 2011 Reduction Drinking Water Act reduces the permissible Lead content in plumbing fixtures, fittings and components with wetted surfaces to a maximum of “not more than a weighted average of 0.25% (lead) when used with respect to the wetted surfaces of pipes, pipe fittings, plumbing fittings, and fixtures.” Make sure that your sales people, estimators, and shop planners are up to speed on the consequences of this change to ‘unleaded.’
